Research Notes
2026-05-31: Hints consistently place death/probate in County Louth, Ireland. This conflicts with a simple model where the family permanently immigrated before John De Renzy Shekleton's 1850 Australian birth.
2026-05-31: Several Ancestry/Geneanet hints give marriage to Anne Hope De Renzy as 18 Oct 1847 at St Anne, Dublin, while existing downloaded marriage-register transcription currently says 18 Oct 1849. Re-check the original image before changing the fact date.
2026-05-31: High-value media hints identified but not downloaded this pass due network restriction: John Shekleton's will to Annesley and Anne Hope (submitted by chloeillustrates, 17/04/2017), plus related member-photo/person-image hints.
